Poll: Penn State University Park vs University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign vs Boston University

I was admitted to all of the universities above, and would like to know overall which school has the best academics, and highest prestige factor/rankings. Please vote!

What’s your net cost if you count (tuition, fees, r&B) - (scholarships/grants)?
DO NOT deduct any loan and indicate your cost for each university so we can advise you more efficiently.
What’s your ideal university - ie., with or without a campus, football or not, preprofessional, what major…?

I would love a university that is balanced between fun and studying. I also think that I might transfer to a better engineering school after the first year, but that might change. Is Champaign as gloomy as it looks in pictures? From pics, I currently stand with State College.

Don’t choose a university expecting to transfer. Very few do. Choose because you can see yourself there for4-5years.

You didn’t answer the cost question .

Didn’t you deposit for n may first?

I deposited for penn state, but UIUC accepted me off their waitlist. And for now, cost is not a matter. :slight_smile:
